Wood beads used in malas and bracelets are purchased from the holy city of Vrindavan, India. A community of widows who are abandoned by society and families make accessories, jewelry, beads and clothing there. In this way, we support them by giving them work, hope, and love.

My love to mala jewelries was born with and during the yoga practice. I just fell in love to necklaces with beautiful natural stone beads and calming scent of sandalwood beads. Later I learned that different stones have different symbolic and healing properties.

Crafting Yogi's style has been from the beginning "less is more". Too many colors or stones together will make the energy too restless and troubled. I use traditional Zen style in mala stringing. The Zen style features all 108 beads divided into the the following format from one side of the guru bead to the next: 7-14-66-14-7. The marker beads are placed in between each section.

I give a leaflet with every jewelry, which includes general information about mala care instructions and stone descriptions.

End notes: Due to many steps in some bead deliveries, I can't guarantee 100 % genuineness of the beads. I though do my best when choosing the suppliers.
I have collected stone descriptions and symbolic/healing properties from books and internet, so they are not my own opinions or can't promise any guarantee for properties.
* I have dog household and sometimes they are in the same facilities during the crafting, so pay attention to this when ordering, if you are extremely allergic to dogs.
